Mocha - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Olathe, Kansas

Cat-friendly

Mocha is living proof that the funniest dogs aren't always the loudest.

She has a favorite chair. She watches TV. She chases backyard bugs and indoor dust bunnies. She gives an adorable half-bark instead of a full one. And once she trusts you, she's the sweetest cuddlebug.

Mocha is a beautiful 7-month-old Pit Bull/Boxer mix who currently weighs about 36 pounds and will likely top out around 45 pounds. She's got the cutest brindle coat , an even cuter personality, and enough goofy little quirks to keep you smiling every single day.

Mocha loves squeaky toys, firmly believes stuffed animals are meant to be de-stuffed, and can entertain herself for quite a while chasing pretty much anything that moves. She has a medium energy level and enjoys playing in the backyard every bit as much as curling up next to you for pets and snuggles.

One important thing to know about Mocha: she can be a little unsure of new people, unfamiliar places, and even car rides. For her, feeling safe comes before anything else. Give her the time and patience to settle in, and her goofy, affectionate personality will shine through (and it's worth the wait!).

Once she's comfortable, the fun begins. She's crate trained, about 90% house trained, and already knows commands like "come," "kennel," "eat," and "this way." Mocha responds especially well to praise, reassurance, and training treats.

A fenced yard is a must, since she's much more confident exploring and playing than walking on a leash. She sleeps soundly in her crate at night, but can't wait to climb into bed for morning snuggles after her first potty break. She gets along well with other dogs and has done well with cats, happily backing off when they let her know they've had enough.

If you're the kind of person who understands that trust is earned, not rushed, Mocha might just be your perfect match.

Mocha's adoption fee is $175, which includes her spay, microchip, age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. Meet-and-greets will be scheduled with approved adopters.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
